Citations Needed

Citations Needed, hosted by&nbsp;Nima Shirazi and Adam Johnson, is a podcast on the media, power, PR and the history of bullshit.Adam and Nima are political commentators and media analysts who identify, demystify and deconstruct the media’s ubiquitous reliance on and regurgitation of false and destructive narratives, tropes and stereotypes. The show covers issues both foreign and domestic - from decades of relentless government propaganda about "disobedient" nations like North Korea and Iran to the tortured language employed relentlessly by the press to protect police and other institutions of power - and features interviews with journalists, analysts, activists, academics, and artists.We take no advertising or corporate money.
